Nameless Faces, Voices in the Wind

(Soldier to young boy)


I look upon your small face
seeing your innocents and fear.
My mission to help where needed
this includes you
small one, oh so near.


Reminding me of my own
whether brother or son.
Knowing it was my choice
to stand with my gun.



(Young boy to Soldier)


You are a nameless face
I see you all around.
Yet when I have fallen
an angel lifts
me from this ground.



When I have grown up
remembering a brave face.
For only a brief moment
there was a hero in this place.



( Soldier to his son or brother)


Your mission
to take care of home.
I pray everyday
you know what I am doing.
For your sake we are here
so you have no fears.



Always in spirit
I stand beside you.
Through the letters i send,


Your...
Soldier's voice you
will hear my
love in the wind.



No one will hurt you
if I stand my post.
For you my little one
are the important
who means the most.


You will cry where we played
 but go about the day.
As if we are never afraid.
Be assured
I will not let you down.



Where you are...


Freedom will not make a sound!













Author notes

To my soldiers,
Your love for all, is not unseen or unheard.
We hear and see your tears and bravery!
This is written from different sides, of all you have touched
for freedom.

Love you guys! Thanks!

God see's your trails
He remains with you always!

    So moving..

    So very moving indeed, particularly when the little boy spoke, it reminds the world that not all soldiers are animals, and that not all of their actions are brutal Or well, reminded me anyhow... well done, and best wishes in the contest

    Such a moving poem you have written here
    Touched me, seeing that image and you speaking their voices.
    Then the tribute that follows
    Well done on the Silver
    Brilliant and heartfelt
